GET $180 OFF: As of Dec. 10, Amazon and Best Buy are offering the Bose QuietComfort headphones for just $179. This represents a 50% discount from their $359 retail price and is $20 lower than their Black Friday pricing.

The Mashable Shopping team has shown great appreciation for Bose headphones. Each model in the brand’s collection has provided outstanding sound quality and a snug fit on different head shapes during our evaluations, making any option a dependable choice. Although they are generally more expensive than other good headphones we’ve tested, they frequently go on sale, making them worth the search.

Luckily, the Bose QuietComfort headphones can now be purchased for just $179 at Amazon and Best Buy (regularly priced at $359). This isn’t the lowest price recorded—they were available for $159.99 on Cyber Monday—but it’s $20 less than their $199 Black Friday price, marking a complete 50% discount.

This promotion includes three colors available at both retailers: sandstone, limited-edition moonlight gray, and limited-edition petal pink. Other models remain priced at $199.

The Bose QCs are our top recommendation for those reluctant to spend on the $450 premium Bose QC Ultras, which come with spatial audio capabilities. “The average individual will be more than content with the [Bose QC] headphones’ rich, balanced sound,” remarked shopping reporter Samantha Mangino, our reviewer. “Additionally, they’re perfect for students who require noise cancellation … along with a long battery life to endure lengthy study sessions.” They are rated for 24 hours of usage per charge.
